The story behind What if...?/Scotland
Commissioned by the Scotland + Venice partnership What if…?/Scotland has been created by award winning Edinburgh based architecture and design practice 7N Architects, in collaboration with Architecture and Design Scotland, Bash Art Creative, O Street and Buro Happold.
Designed to be staged in Venice as part of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, What if…?/Scotland responds to the Biennale’s theme How will we live together?, seeking to re-engage the civic role of design professionals by asking communities from across Scotland to share their hopes and dreams for the future of the places they call home.
The What if…?/ Scotland exhibition opened at V&A Dundee from Saturday 22 May until Sunday 21 November 2021.
Scotland + Venice provides architects and artists based in Scotland with a valuable platform to showcase their work on the international stage at the Venice Biennale and is a partnership between Creative Scotland, British Council Scotland, National Galleries of Scotland, Architecture and Design Scotland and the Scottish Government.
